Working Principles

The MAX6368HKA29+T operates by continuously monitoring the supply voltage connected to the VCC pin. When the voltage falls below the selected threshold voltage, the RESET pin is asserted, providing a reset signal to the system. The reset signal remains active for the specified timeout period, allowing the system to initialize properly. Once the voltage rises above the threshold voltage, the reset signal is deasserted.
